FW 13 - NEW YORK - CAROLINA HERERRA

As Carolina Herrera said, "this collection has great drama and emotion". Herrera is not know for following trends but for creating new realities. 

According to Style.com, "the designer imagined a heroine of the 1940s: With her victory-roll coif and her wasp-waisted dresses and full skirts, she was a kind of vixenish moll."

Everything was super classy without anything of size mini. The colors were the traditional Fall colors: a lot of dark greens,  greys, browns, purple and a little of red and blue.

Happy Easter!

TOKYO STYLE

Style.com has this great thing of posting Street Style photos of the biggest fashion weeks out there.

I was checking the Tokyo fashion week street style and those guys are insane (in a good way). Japanese people have their own crazy style that actually works on them. 

I have to confess that when I first look at this pictures I thought how tacky Japanese style is, but then I realized that this is their style and they have the guts to actually wear something so different. Even though I prefer to have this simple European style and I don't fall in love with what Japanese people wear, I do respect their sense of style (at least they have it!).

FW 13 - NEW YORK - CALVIN KLEIN COLLECTION

Calvin Klein Collection was all about: blue, black and white. Super simple! Super CK!

I would say that the CK's Spring Collection was about a romantic girl and this Fall that girl will be transformed into a powerful woman who wears leather and big belts, though still classy due to the A line skirts. The shoes looked like Cinderella's shoes - really classy, simple and different.

FW 13 - NEW YORK - ANNA SUI

We are already used to the Anna Sui's eccentricity. 

This collection was all about color. Pinks, blues, reds, purples, greens, whites, oranges,... 

Yup, pretty much all the pallet!

It was a really feminine show with lots of patterns and a little of fur.

I am not a huge fan of this brand but I admire Anna's capacity of thinking outside the box.
Also, the little dance at the begging of the show was super fun to watch. After all, it was a great show full of originality.

Have a nice week!

FW 13 - NEW YORK - ALEXANDER WANG

This season, Wang was looking at boxing, that explains the covered heads (5) and the 

maxi gloves that opened the show.

As said in Style.com, "Wang was fixated on roundness and blurriness", the total opposite of last season.

Black (3, 6), grey (2, 4, 5), dark blue (1) and a little of brown were the main colors.

The foggy environment matched the outfits perfectly.

A lot of fur (4) and a lot of leather (6) are the materials that the Wang Girl is going to wear next Fall.

HAVE A NICE WEEK!

FALL 13 - NEW YORK - 3.1 PHILLIP LIM

Phillip Lim is my favourite American man born in Thailand whose parents are Chinese!

He has the ability of wow us season after season without being too flamboyant.

Lim's next Fall won't be that colorful... Pink and blue pop out in the middle of so much black. Light browns opened the show but greys, black and dark blues were the main colours.

Lim's inspiration was girlfriends of bikers. 

We could see a lot of leather, patch-covered denim, moto jackets and vests.

All of these elements are highly related to bikers.

At the end, it was a great collection! Really New York, really casual chic!

1 - The round sunnies take us back to the 60s and look like a futuristic version of the John Lennon's round sunglasses. Even though, Lim's style is not hippie at all, these sunglasses gave a casual twist to the collection.

2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10 - Some of the outfits

5, 11 - Patch-covered denim

6 - Details

9 - The makeup was really simple: strong lips and the rest really light

HAVE FUN!

HAVE A NICE SATURDAY!

DEAR SANTA,

Eight days until Christmas!!! YEY!

Santa Claus is almost coming!

This post is perfect for two types of people:

1. For those who don't know what to ask Santa Claus for

AND

2. For those who actually are the Santa Claus and don't know what to give to someone

Notice that the majority of the suggestions I'm posting are really expensive. 

I've got all the respect for those who CAN'T afford and for those who CAN.

So here are my suggestions:

The first bag is a Proenza Schouler iPAD case. I really like it because it totally reflects Proenza's essence on a technological gadget. It costs about 540€. You can find it here.

The second bag is a Bimba & Lola handbag. I love its colour and its shape. It costs about 172€ You can find it here.

The third bag is a Chloé handbag. It is way more expensive but few are the women who can resist to it. You can find a woman wearing it at all fashion weeks.There are many more colours. You just have to choose the perfect one. It is an actual classic. It costs about 1250€ and you can find it here.

Then, we've got the book Grace: A Memoir. It is a great book about Grace Coddington and written by herself. It costs about 21.60$ and you can find it here.

The Carolina Herrera's Eau de Parfum 212 VIP is also a great gift. It was one of my last Christmas' presents and I loved it. It has a great smell, super chic! What else to say? You can find it here.

The Gucci bracelet is just one more suggestion. It is a "simple" leather cuff plated with gold. It costs about 1052.26€ and you can find it here.

Last but not least, the Smythson Runway Notebook. I love it! If for any reason you're able to go to the most important fashion weeks out there, this notebook is a must! It costs about 115.88€ and you can find it here.

Firstly, we've got my economic choice which is the Moschino iphone case. It costs about 35€ (yes, only two digits!) and you can find it here.

Secondly, we've got the famous black Loubountins pumps. They are super comfy, classic and beautiful. Definitely a must! This pair of shoes costs about 845€ and you can find it here.

The Tiffany & Co ring was also one of my choices. It is so simple but so beautiful. It costs about 350$ and you can find it here.

The famous Isabel Marant sneakers couldn't be out of this list. The world went nuts with these sneakers. Fashion weeks were all about these sneakers. All thanks to the amazing Isabel Marant. This pair of shoes costs about 395€ and you can find it here.

The Proenza Schouler handbag is another classic. It costs about 1995€ and you can find it here.

Finally, the Burberry trench coat. Super famous around the fashion world. Everybody wants one. It costs about 1495€ and you can find it here.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

CAMO

Fashion is definitely in war! 

At least, your outfits will make you look like you're 

in the middle of a battle, since camouflage is back.

Camo is the next season's must! 

The only restriction is the total look.

You should not wear a total camo look.

You may coordinate it with dark pieces, for example.

1, 2, 6, 10 - TOPSHOP

4 - ZARA

11 - CONVERSE (net-a-porter)

5 - Rihanna (okmagazine)

9 - Rita Ora (splashnewsonline)
